good morning, steve. >> caller: good morning. i think the silver lining in the debate results is that progressives are going to redouble their efforts to get the word out and the vote out, app secondly i think the president will do much better in the townhall setting. we'll be able to look right in the camera and say these medicare lies are a bunch of bunk. he'll look at people right in the audience and get through them like he can. >> jamal: one of the things that annoys me the most. they talk about how president obama can't talk without using a teleprompter. first of all who cares, everybody does it. second of all, when we have seen this president in a townhall meeting when he is interacting with regular people nobody connects better than barack obama when he is in one of these meetings. >> caller: yeah i think so too. and without the constraints of somebody talking over him like mitt romney did. he'll be able to talk to a human being out there. >> jamal: and any question can come up in a townhall meeting. god love jim lehrer b

steve, what do you think? is this historically the time during the campaign, the conventions are over, when the candidates both kind of come back to the center and stop flinging the red meat to try and talk right down the middle? >> there's a very important difference between how obama is approaching going after the middle in this campaign and how he did in his presidency and what romney is now doing. the story line from pundits and the press now is romney is moving to the middle. that's certainly the tone of what he did in the debate. that's the tone his rhetoric. it was centrist. the question is whether it's obama sounding like a centrist in the debate or romney sounding like a centrist in the debate. is it backed up by substance? on romney's side the answer is flatly now. if you look at the policies which he did not want to get into on wednesday night, they are not centrist in any way. we had in the clip saying pre-existing conditions are covered under the plan. of course you want to say that. that's a cent

>> steve: he had an awful debate. now what they're doing, the democrats, they've decided we've got a new strategy. rather than painting mitt romney as an extremist, we're going to call him a liar. here is the head of the dnc communications department. listen. >> there has been plenty of people pointed out what a liar mitt romney is and was last night. i mean, testifies talking -- if he was speaking last night, he was lying. look, mitt romney had a good night. but, you know, even a blind squirrel gets a nut every now and then. >> steve: so that's the best they can do? >> it's not very good. you know, when he came out, when the president came out and he came out with that classic strut that he uses sometimes and my wife busted. she said, i don't like when you do it and i don't like when he does it. that kind of dashing walk. >> brian: why? >> because it's like i'm macho and i'm posturing, absolutely fake. i thought the telling moment happened almost immediately because it was his 20th anniversary with michelle. he has b

let me bring in steve schmidt who is a senior strategist. what's your overall assessment? >> i think it was a great night for mitt romney. i think the doom and gloom that's been hanging over the romney campaign, republicans in general has lifted tonight. i think that the democratic advance which began literally a month ago when clint eastwood walked out on stage ended tonight. i think the race is going to tighten. i think mitt romney was in command of this from the beginning. i'm not sure that he lost an exchange during the entire debate. a startling performance in my view and just the context of how good mitt romney was tonight. >> i thought that in terms of individual exchanges i think what may have been most notable, there wasn't i think a single direct attack against mitt romney from president obama. however, they substantively dealt with policy matters. >> he was looking down tonight. he was passive. he was abstract in his answers. mitt romney was talking about real people, giving real examples. i thought he was clear. he was concise. i think the president was muddled
